Chapter 1
I have almost finished the gauge on my socks. I have decided
to work on the Knit One, Kill Two project.
The main project is the Lambspun’s
Whodunnit Shell. There is also a
simple scarf pattern but I thought I would skip it. It is simply casting on 10
stitches and then knitting a garter stitch until you reach the size you want.
To complete the shell pattern, you need size 15 needles
| I like bamboo better than metal |
a
bulky yarn
| Lion's Brand in Homespun |
and the pattern to start.
| Hopefully it is very easy like it says |
The gauge should be 2 stitches per inch. I
hate doing a gauge but since I am not sure of this yarn, I will. Now, on to the book J
Chapter 1
We meet the main character Kelly Flynn. She has come back to Colorado because her
Aunt Helen has died and Kelly is in charge of the estate. The first person that she and her dog Carl meet
is Mimi Shafer. Mimi appears to be a nice lady and owns the knitting and
needlepoint store in town. Mimi takes Kelly to the bistro that is attached to
the yarn store. She learns of the wonderful cinnamon rolls made there.
After the coffee and roll, Kelly heads off to the lawyers
office. At the lawyer’s office, Kelly learns that her aunt died because of a
robbery. She couldn’t understand why someone would rob her aunt. The lawyer tells
her that Helen had taken out a $20,000 loan just days before. They believe the money was taken from her
purse. They saw a homeless person in the area and arrested him.

Ravelry
WooHoo!!! Well I finally have my Ravelry account organized. I can't believe how amazing it is. I love how everything in in a place on my account. The books, needles, and yarn are easily found and I even have some offers on yarn. It was almost too much too soon. We will see how it goes though.

Punt
In American football there is a phrase called "Drop back and punt". What that means is that you have to see that your progress is not going well and just stop and punt to the other team and try again.
This is what I have done with my knitting. My UFO's are now frogged and ready to try again to knit something.
This has also helped me to add some pictures to my Ravelry page! I have been meaning to do this for a long time.
The yarn below is the socks that I showed in the previous post. I have lost the orginal pattern and am not experienced enough to convert one pattern to another.
| It looks like a big pile of Ramen Noodles:-) |
| Much better |
| Worked on for SOOOOO long |
| meh |
